Reforming the Feminine ContentI Love To Eat.
I gotta tell you ladies, being pregnant has given me some good excuses to eat. I don’t know if it’s legit, but I’ve heard countless times, “It’s okay, you’re pregnant.”
Dude, there is no way that eating all of what I want is OKAY!!
Here’s a list for you of what I want to eat/what I actually eat:
- Coke: It has never tasted so good. I never used to drink Coke.
- Twix: Is not even that good… too sweet!
- Crepe with chocolate and ice cream: Do I need to explain?
- Bread: I can eat a whole loaf by myself. Easy.
- Snickers ice cream bar: The most tasty treat ever.
- Cheeseburgers: McDonalds or Dicks. Either will do.
- Fries: Always.
- Sundaes: What? What sundae? It’s not chocolate on my mouth, it’s marker.
Yeah, there’s protein and veggies mixed in there everyday… but not enough compared to all of the crap above.
I’m telling you… I love food. I think it’s become an idol for me. I need to go pray and read my bible.
Bye.
I used food a lot to cope during college. It can definitely be an idol. Finding the balance is hard, but a lot better when combined with other healthy routines - i.e. getting enough sleep, drinking enough water, etc.
Hi Candice! You make me laugh. Thanks for sharing honestly. It is really frustrating how something as dumb as food can steal our hearts, isn’t it?!
Candice,
I remember feeling the same way when I was pregnant with my first son! Not that I want to encourage you to trade one potential idol for another, but just passing on wisdom I learned the hard way— I gained a whopping 60 lbs during my first pregnancy, and it was alot tougher getting healthy afterward than it was “putting on the glow” during all those cravings! God bless you and your new family!
